During a follow-up investigation, detectives found that Hagyards credit card was used about 11 p.m. Monday at a gas station in Colfax. Placer County sheriffs detectives reviewed the surveillance video from the gas station, which showed a man matching the description of Hagyard fueling a blue Honda. They reported that the man did not appear to be in distress. They said the clerk who assisted the man said he appeared somewhat confused but did not ask for any assistance.

Authorities on Monday were searching the Coyote Canyon area off Nevada 447 northeast of Nixon for a 79-year-old man. Warren Alford Hagyard, of Pioneer, Calif., has been missing since April 21, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office reported. The search was prompted by a call to authorities. A person who had been four-wheeling in the area of Pyramid Lake near Nixon on Saturday reported that while on a rough dirt trail about 10 miles from the trailhead, he found a blue Honda Civic in a creek bed that appeared stuck on rocks. The caller took photos of the car and marked the GPS location of the vehicle.
